A lawyer for teacher Emilia Marin filed a petition late Thursday asking a state district...
A flag flies at half-mast at Daniel Defense’s headquarters in Black Creek, Ga., May 27, 2022. After one of its military-style rifles was used in the Texas elementary school shooting on Tuesday, the gun manufacturer published a pop-up statement on its home page sending “thoughts and prayers” to the community of Uvalde, Texas, and pledging to cooperate with the authorities.
“Petitioner seeks to obtain the deposition testimony and evidence from Daniel Defense to investigate potential claims by the Petitioner,” the filing states. “The subject matter of the potential claim is the conduct of Daniel Defense which was a cause of the injuries and damages suffered by Emilia Marin.”
State police have said Ramos bought the Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 online. Though it was one of two assault-style rifles Ramos bought in the days after his 18th birthday, that was the firearm found next to his body when he was killed by storming Border Patrol agents more than an hour after he went into the school and gunned down his victims.
The settlement was notable because the plaintiffs’ legal team devised a way around a 2005 federal law that shields gun companies from civil liability. They did so by arguing that Remington violated Connecticut state consumer law by marketing the weapon to unstable young men.
